Real-Time Dynamic Modeling - Data Information Requirements and Flight Test Results
Eugene A. Morelli,Mark S. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: Practical aspects of identifying dynamic models for aircraft in real time were studied and Estimated parameter standard errors, prediction cases, and comparisons with results from postflight analysis using the output-error method in the time domain were used to demonstrate the accuracy of the identified real-time models.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the in-flight transition behavior of the HIFiRE-1 flight and found that the growth of first mode instabilities is weak at all trajectory points analyzed from the ascent phase, except near the cone meridian where a roughness element was placed midway along the length of the cone.
Transition Analysis for the HIFiRE-1 Flight Experiment

TL;DR: The HIFiRE-1 flight experiment provided a valuable database pertaining to boundary layer transition over a 7-degree half-angle, circular cone model from supersonic to hypersonic Mach numbers, and a range of Reynolds numbers and angles of incidence.

TL;DR: Results show that this online learning system, in contrast to the nonlearning system, has the ability to adapt to changes in aerodynamic characteristics in a real-time, closed-loop, piloted simulation, resulting in improved flying qualities.
Real-Time Stability and Control Derivative Extraction From F-15 Flight Data
Mark S. Smith,Timothy R. Moes,Eugene A. Morelli +2 more
- 01 Sep 2003
TL;DR: In this article, a real-time, frequency-domain, equation-error parameter identification (PID) technique was used to estimate stability and control derivatives from flight data using a modified F-15 aircraft.
